Santeeans Run in the Silver Strand 5K and Half Marathon
An estimated 5,000 participants—skaters, runners and people in wheelchairs and handcycles—made the 13.1 mile trek from Coronado to Imperial Beach. Competitors came from across San Diego, southern California and the nation, including Santee.
Starting at Sunset Park in Coronado, the 11th Annual Silver Strand Half Marathon began at 7:20 a.m. Sunday morning, with skaters leaving first, then handcycle and wheelchair contestants, then runners and walkers hit the pavement to complete the 13.1 mile scenic course ending at the Imperial Beach pier.
Chilly early morning air did nothing to deter crowds of onlookers who lined sidewalks and climbed nearby rocks for a view of the starting line.
An estimated 5,000 participants took part in the half marathon. A separate 5K started and finished at the Imperial Beach pier as well.
